Descubra sua estadia em Udupi

We stayed in this resort for three nights from 24th to 27th Dec in Premium Room number 516 on 4th floor. The size of room was quite spacious and big. The room was clean. The bathroom size was also quite spacious and clean. As a bonus, it also had bath tub:-). All the staff including housekeeping, restaurant and front desk were very helpful, friendly and providing very prompt service. Buffet breakfast was of good quality and taste ***** with wide variety. However, the breakfast was served on 1st floor which was just a plain hall having plastic tables and chairs. Location of this resort was good as it meant that we were out of hustle-n-bustle of Udupi city. The distance of this resort from the nearest beach was just 15 minutes walk. The interior of the room and the hotel was dated. The rooms need painting. The furniture in the room such as wardrobe, cupboard etc needs polishing. The lobby in the reception area also had many patches of leakages and faded painting. Overall, this resort is in need of immediate refurbishing. They had provided Kettle and coffee mugs. But there was no tea bags/coffee/sugar sachets. I asked for the same to the reception but they said they can't provide the same. I also requested for hand towel, for which I got the same response from reception. Finally, since we stayed here during Christmas season, the price being charged was 2.5 times of normal rates. The price didn't justify the points I mentioned above. Unfortunately, for me it didn't turn out to be value for money.

The biggest strength of this beautiful property is its strategic location. The infinity pool overlooking the lagoon is a view to die for. Surrounded by lush greenery this is a great property to stay. We are a couple with 2 kids aged 7 & 3 and had a lovely stay at the property. We stayed in the Deluxe rooms - the ones alloted to us were spacious but slightly dated. There were a few more on the ground floor that were relatively new. The landscape is fairly maintained, the view in the night is lovely. The breakfast spread is decent, mix of local and western options. We ate the food in the resort hotel on the first day and food was decent. They try to make food to your specification if you ask. Staff is courteous and always smiling. Special mention to Aldrin at the front desk who went the extra mile to help us find a rental car when we couldnt get one - if not for him, our travel would have been pretty challenging as the property is a good 13 km away from Udupi - pretty remote and you cant get out easily from there without a vehicle. Although a few guests who stayed mentioned that the resort staff would help them with a rickshaw. The room lacked some basic amenities for the price offered like complementary toiletries, a hair dryer, a safety locker, etc. The pool is lovely and you cant get enough of the view from the pool. The kids loved the play area and the books stocked up there. There are a good number of fantastic sightseeing spots - Hoode beach which is just a lil over 1 km. Delta point/Bengre beach where river Suvarna meets the Arabian sea is an absolutely fantastic spot to view sunrise/sunset or just soak yourself in the beach. Kemmannu Hanging bridge and the water activities around that place is another great attraction for both kids and adults. We also went to see the Kaup beach and lighthouse in the evening when they allow you to go up the lighthouse. The best part was taking the route ***** the beach where you can drive through quite villages with backwaters to the left and the beach right next to you - BLISS! Overall a good stay with some minor upgrades needed to make this one of the sought after properties in this area.

The rooms were pristine clean, clean bed linen and towels. Plenty of hot water. Tea/ coffee kettle in room. Excellent service both at reception and restaurant . Staff Benedict/ Aroop went the extra mile with their service and so did the young restaurant Manager. The location is also superb. Only issue was that due to heavy rains the street was flooded and so was their basement car park. Also wish mid range hotels in India had shower cubicles. The whole bathroom is wet after a shower!
